Belts
Belts are a type of Armor in Ashes of Creation.[2]
Mage character with material components for spell casting attached to its belt.[3]
The idea is to move away from the mundane application of belts in previous MMOs where they don't really have a lot of character so to speak. But in reality as an adventurer you come with a lot of tools and things that you have to use out in the wild in order to achieve what you're trying to achieve. So we wanted to represent that on your character and give you something that can actually be tangible for your character and see there. I think it adds a lot of character and flavor to your identity.[4] – Steven Sharif

- Mainhand slot equips a player's primary weapon.[7][8][9][10][6]

Gear appearance priority
Players can set the appearance priority for the items they wish to show in their Back and Belt slots.[5][12][13]
- Only one item can show at a time, and that is determined by player choice.[6]
- Some ranged or melee abilities require a specific weapon to be equipped. Weapons that are equipped in the character's ranged or offhand slots will automatically swap in and out as required by the skill.[14][7][8][10]
- Players may toggle back and forth between using their ranged and melee slot for basic weapon attacks.[14]
- Idle animations will be selectible by players in the character creator.[16]
